My Name is Kris and I Blah-g

I am intolerant. There. I said it. I currently have a running list of dislikes and I must be vocal about it because my 6 year old is keeping track. The other day I was behind a big truck while I was in my cute little Mini Cooper – the Mickey Mobile. “Ugh!” I exclaimed. “I hate driving behind big trucks!” Then a little voice came from the back seat.”So, you hate bad drivers, brussel sprouts AND big trucks, Mom?” The voice said.I’m afraid my list doesn’t end there. I don’t like socialist liberals. I don’t like stupid people. And I especially don’t like MEAN PEOPLE. And it seems like they’re coming out of the wood work these days. Take this guy:

It’s been quite the week in Idol’s world since the long delayed – but delicious – departure of Season 8s albatross, and while I appreciate the countless e-mails and comments requesting my recap of the elimination of Gokey, I was too busy dancing in the streets as late as Saturday.  Okay, not really, but the unmitigated joy I felt was palpable.  My feelings for Gokey haven’t exactly been hidden under any type of cloak.  My disgust of the monumental pimping, his staggering pomposity, his early – then resurrected – use of his dead wife-as-sympathy, and Christian America’s impressive drive to keep ascend him to the top, was clearly on display for you dear readers.  - AI Report Card

Yeah. Okay. I get it. You don’t like Gokey. But sheesh. I could read the rest of his crap website but then I’d end up going out and setting fire to little kittens. Something tells me that he’s not only mean and stupid but he’s probably a brussel sprout eating liberal socialist who drives a really big truck and drives it VERY poorly. So, what’s my point? Well, it just seems like people just can’t be nice. So many are so quick to tear someone else down. Does it make them feel better to do so? Take Perez Hilton… this guy makes his living – probably an obscene one at that – blogging about celebrities, current events, etc. He draws male genitalia on nearly every photo he posts. He calls people names. He’s vicious. If your views aren’t the same as his, he makes it his life goal to make you a social outcast. Yes. He’s the genius who asked Miss California that question about gay marriage. Was the question relevant? Maybe. It’s a hot social topic. She gave her opinion which Hilton clearly disagreed with. The next thing we know he’s out saying crap about her, calling her the b-word and calling for her head on a chopping block. Whoa. Hang on their big fella. You asked a question. She answered. Move on. But he can’t and he won’t until she’s either stripped of her crown or in some asylum on suicide watch. I guess I am just annoyed. I am annoyed at other people’s agenda being forced as my agenda. I’m weary of seeing our government start to take over and own businesses. It wasn’t long ago that I could, of my own free will go buy a black car that gets 20 MPG. Now they’re saying in California, they want to ban black cars and just yesterday our  wonderful president wants cars – all of them – to get over 35 MPG. And we wonder why the car industry is failing? The government is going to own all of this and does anybody care? They want the car industry. They want healthcare. And it’s not because it will help us – WE THE PEOPLE. It’s because it will give them control. Our free will is being taken from us. We can’t buy whatever car we like. We can only see certain doctors. We have to accept marriage can occur between whoever – and yeah, that’s coming…gay marriage first… polygamy next… animals…inanimate objects after that… and soon, churches will be forced by law to allow these marriages to occur. At what point does it stop? At what point will we stand up to the loss of our liberty and say ENOUGH?! This post can easily jump around to different things because everything seems to be at odds. There is no cohesion. There’s no unity. I almost feel like I’ve been walking around with blinders on and now I am seeing the world for what it is – cruel.  Well, the blinders may be off, but it doesn’t mean I have to look at the ugliness out there. And despite it all, I still hope that humanity prevails and that compassion becomes a priority. I can’t control that which I have no control over so I needn’t try. But it would be nice if those who profit from their cruelty and lack of compassion would be seen for who they really are. Hopefully nice can make a comeback.
